L Requirements and Application Procedures

FRESHMAN ADMISSION

The University of Maryland is a publicly funded land grant institution and the flagship of the University System of Maryland. The University's
M i ssi on Statement expresses a comni tment to achi evi ng excel I ence as the state's pri mary center for research and graduate educati on and the
institution of choice for undergraduate students of exceptional ability and promise Consistent with this m ission, the University counts the
diversity of its students among its greatest strengths and as an integral component of the educational process and academic excellence.

The undergraduate admission process, which reflects the University's educational mission, seeks toidentify those applicants, who as individuals
and as a group, will enrich and benefit from the campus learning environment, and thus benefit the entire student body. The process is structured
to bui I d enteri ng cl asses of students whose vari ed backgrounds and experi ences provi de substanti al evi dence of the! r potenti al to:

1. M eet the university's requi rements for acaderri c success.

2. Enrich the university as a heterogeneous community.

3. Add new perspectives to the university's curriculum and scholarly pursuits.

4. Develop personal skills, including leadership, self-confidence, and intellectual engagement.

5. Contribute to the intellectual, cultural, social and political life of the university, state, and nation.

As the university must make fine distinctions among large numbers of highly qualified applicants, the ability to assess consistently all information
presented i n the appl i cati on becomes i ncreasi ngl y i mportant Therefore, the uni versi ty empl oys a ri gorous revi ew process that engages the
expertise of professional educators in performing individualized and holistic evaluations of each application. Each applicant is assessed on the
basi s of achi evements and potenti al i n a broad range of acaderri c categori es, vi ewed i n the context of the opportuni ti es and chal I enges the
applicant faced.

These categori es i ncl ude:

1. Strength of educati onal performance, as measured by the nature and ri gor of hi gh school curri cul um and acaderri c achi evements.

2. Potential for col lege success, as evidenced by performance on nationally normed standardized tests.

3. Potential to promote beneficial educational outcomes and to makeapositivecontribution to campus and community life.

4. Persistence and commitment to educational excellence, as evidenced by demonstrated success in facing adversity and overcoming obstacles.

Currently, applicants who have attended Maryland public institutions may be admitted in accordance with the criteria outlined in the previ ous
paragraph. The university subscribes to the policies set forth in the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) and Board of Regents
transfer policies. When the number of students desiring admission exceeds the number that can beacccimrnodated in a particular professional or

General Transfer I n fo rm a Uon

Admitted students will receive a preliminary review of transfer credit within two weeks after receiving the letter of admission. An official review
of transfer credi t occurs thereafter, wi th f i nal deterni nati on of appl i cabi I i ty made by an academi c advi sor/eval uator i n the off i ce of the appropri ate
dean for the major. Generally, college-level courses completed at regionally-accredited institutions will transfer provided that grades of at I east
"C" (2.0) are earned and the coui^e is similar in content and scope to work offered at Maryland. The regional accrediting bodies are Middle States
Association of Colleges and Schools, New England Association of Schools and Colleges, North Central Association of Colleges and Schools,
Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and Western Association of Schools and
Colleges. Up to 60 credits from a community or two-year col I ege and 90 credits from a four-year col lege, may be applied toward the degree
Students are required to complete at least their final 30 credits at Maryland to earn a University of Maryland degree

Transfer of course work completed at Maryland public colleges and universities is covered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission
(MHEC) transfer policies (see complete text later in this seed on). Maryland will accept grades of "D" or better from appropri ate course work
completed ata regionally-accredited Maryland public institution, including other institutions in the University System of Maryland.

TheTransfer Credit Center provides articulation information and assistance to students and transfer advisors. TheCenter, a joint effort between the
Offices of Undergraduate Admissions and the Office of the Registrar, has computerized and consolidated the transfer credit evaluation process. It
provides incoming students from domestic institutions with information on acceptability of credits and transfer equivalencies, subject to
adj ustment by advi sors wi thi n the student's i ndi vi dual program Certai n courses (eg., those not appeari ng or not f ul I y el aborated i n the sendi ng
institution's current catalog) may require additional information such as syllabi, portfolios, etc., before evaluation.

I nformation on transferability of specific courses to the University of Maryland, College Park may be accessed on the web at
www.tce.umd.edu/TCE/ .

Each college-level course will beevaluated individually, with applicability toward major or general education requirements determined by the
appropri ate academic unit The university does not transfer blocks of courses, such as those completed through the Associate's Degree. See
"Departments, Majors and Programs" for specific general education and major requirements.

Creditwill be posted to your Maryland record only from official transcripts sentfromtheinstitution at which the credit was completed. Students
who have earned credit through Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
subject area exams must have scores sent directly from the testing board, even if they are already posted on a transcript from another institution.

encourage and aid students in their efforts to take appropriate courses prior to transfer. Each course is evaluated individually for students seeking
to transfer to the University of M aryland. Credit is granted for courses that are applicable to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree, and
for which a grade of "C" or above was earned. Courses completed at Maryland public two- or four-year institutions may be transferred with
grades of " D " or above provi ded that course content i s appropri ate to our acaderri c programs.

Maximum Number of Transfer Credits Accepted

The University of Maryland has direct transfer agreements with all Maryland community colleges, as well as other junior and community colleges
outsi de of the state The uni versi ty will accept for transfer a maxi mum of 60 credi ts from a two-year program and 90 credi ts from a four-year
program for courses i n whi ch a grade of "C " or above was earned and whi ch are appropri ate to an approved curri cul um at thi s i nsti tuti on. See the
above paragraph for requi red course grades.

Maximum Number of Credits Allowed for Non-Traditional Learning

Students who have acquired college-level learning through work or other non-collegiate activities may wish to translate their experience into
credits at Maryland by validation through the national CLEP examination (College-Level Examination Program) or credit-by-exani nation
administered by academic departments. The university will accept a maxi mum of 30 hours of credit through examination.

Minimum Number of Credits Required Through Classroom Instruction in theMajor Field and for the Degree

The U ni versity of M aryl and requi res a rri ni mum of 120 semester hours of credit for an undergraduate degree; some programs requi re more.
Regardless of the total number of transfer credits, students must complete at I east their last 30 credits at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Statement on Transfer of General Education Requirements

As directed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (M HEC) Transfer Policy, transferable courses taken in fulfillment of general
education requirements at a Maryland public institution will be applied toward University of Maryland's general education requirements. Careful
planning with an academic advisor will ensure that students take appropriate credit and maximize their credit transfer. The total number of
general educati on credi ts for a M aryl and publ i c i nsti tuti on transfer or post baccal aureate credi ts wi 1 1 not exceed that requi red of rati ve students.

Federal Work-Study: The Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program provides
students with the opportunity to earn money to meet the r educati onal and
personal expenses. M oney earned from the FWS program does not have to be
paid back. To be considered for FWS, students must meet OSFA's priority
appl i cati on deadl i ne of February 15. Thi s award i s need- based and may range
from $800 to $2,000. Pay rates depend on the level of complexity of the work,
but will be at I east the federal minimum wage Like all university employees,
FWS empl oyees receive a paycheck every other week for the hours worked.
M ost FWS j obs are on campus, though opportuni ti es exi st through the
Community Service Program for FWS students to work off campus at several
Federal Government A genci es. The number of hours students may work i s

hours to be worked duri ng that semester. The payment amount i s advanced to the
students account at the start of each semester. This program differs from Federal
Work-Study i n that students receive al I "wages" at the start of each semester, as
opposed to a bi-weekly pay check, and those funds are appl i ed di recti y to the
students account. Several off i ces and departments on campus, i ncl udi ng Shuttl e

Minors afford students the opportunity to pursue a limited but structured concentration in a coherent field of study outside their major. The minor may bea

Academic Advising and Degree Completion

A 1 1 new students are requi red to attend Ori entati on where they wi 1 1 regi ster for cl asses. D uri ng thei r first semester, students devel op a four year pi an based on
templates provided for each major (see www.4vearplans.umd.edu) . Each plan includes specific benchmark courses to be completed within a specific period of time
F our year pi ans must be approved by an advi sor i n order to regi ster for subsequent semesters.

Students are requi red to compl ete the benchmark courses i n thei r maj or i n order to progress to graduati on (see Student Academi c Success-Degree Compl eti on

Ful I — ti me degree seeking students normally are expected to compl ete the undergraduate program in four years. Within this timeframe, all students are expected to
demonstrate conti nui ng progress i n thei r maj ors by compl eti ng prerequi si te or requi red courses wi th the appropri ate grades, and by compl eti ng other requi rements
consistent with graduation progress or benchmarks established by their academic units (see 2, below). It is ultimately the responsibility of the student to meet these
requi rements. To he! p students meet these requi rements the U ni versi ty wi 1 1 f aci I i tate student progress to degree by provi di ng enhanced student advi si ng through the
fol I owi ng measures:

1. Academic units will create 4-year graduati on templates that will specify the degree requi rements for each major and provide semester-by-semester course schedule
model s that achi eve graduati onwithin four years. Students will prepare i ndi vi dual i zed pi ans for compl eti ng thei r degrees i n accordance wi th the academi c uni ts'
4-year graduati on pi ans. Students are al so encouraged to peri odi cal I y update the! r pi ans wi th the assi stance of thei r academi c advi sors.

2. A cademi c uni ts wi 1 1 establ i sh graduati on progress benchmarks for each academi c maj or. These will sped fy the credi t and course cri teri a that will i ndi cate

4. When students change maj ors, they will be requi red to present an academic pi an to the new major unit that demonstrates their ability to complete their degree in a
timely manner.

W hi I e some students will have val i d reasons to take addi ti onal ti me to degree, any student who compl etes 10 semesters or 130 credi ts (see footnote 1 for credi ts not

Computation of Grade Point Average

GPA is computed by dividing the total number of quality points accumulated in courses for which a grade of A +, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, orF has
been assigned by the total number of credits attempted in those courses. Courses for which a mark of P, S, I, NGRorW has been assi gned are not included in
computing theGPA. Each letter grade has a numerical value: A+, A, A- =4; B+, B, B- =3; C+, C, C- =2; D+, D, D- =1; F =0. Multj plying this value by the
number of credi ts f or a parti cul ar course gi ves the number of qual i ty poi nts earned for that course.

E lection to Phi Beta Kappa

www, uast umd.edu/pbk. html

Organized in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and most widely respected academic honorary society intheUnited States.

I nvitation to membership is based on outstanding scholastic achievement in studies of the liberal arts and sciences. Student members

are chosen entirely on the basis of academic excellence; neither extracurricular leadership nor service to the community is

consi dered. E I ecti on i s hel d twi ce a year, once i n the f al I and once i n the spri ng semester.

T he process for el ecti on to P hi B eta K appa i nvol ves a revi ew i n N ovember for those who graduated the previ ous A ugust or those
who wi 1 1 graduate i n December, and a revi ew i n M arch for those graduati ng i n M ay. F or j uni ors the revi ew occurs i n M arch. T he
review is conducted by a select committee of faculty members representing the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
The committee reviews transcripts of all students with qualifying grade point averages. Whether a student qualifies for membership
in Phi Beta Kappa depends on the quality, depth, and breadth of the student's record in liberal courses. The final decision for
election rests with the faculty committee and faculty Phi Beta Kappa members.

Requirements for consideration of membership in Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Maryland, College Park campus chapter
include:

L Grade Point Average For seniors a grade point average of at least 3.75 overall as well as in all liberal arts and sciences courses
taken. Forjuniors the minimum grade point average is at I east 3.85. National PBK rules, however, requirethatnomorethan20
percent of the students el ected i n any one year can be j uni ors, so the actual mi ni mum grade poi nt average for j uni or admi ssi on may
be higher than 3.85.
Z Residence At least 60 credit hours must betaken at the University of Maryland, Col lege Park.

3. Liberal Courses For seniors, at I east 90 credit hours in courses in the liberal arts and sciences (where "liberal" courses are to be
distinguished from professional or technical courses), at least 45 of which must be taken at the University of Maryland, College
Park. F or j uni ors, at I east 75 total credi t hours must be compl eted, at I east 60 of whi ch are i n courses i n the I i beral arts and sci ences;
of these, at least 45 must betaken at the University of Maryland, College Park. Students would ordinarily be majors in one of the
programs in the liberal arts and sciences. However, students with the requisite number of liberal credit hours can be admitted if they
have compl eted at I east 5 courses ( 15 credi t hours or more) for seni ors and f or j uni ors i n a si ngl e I i beral arts and sci ences
department/program at U M C P.

4. Required courses One semester of mathematics, which must be fulfilled by college-level credit hours (including AP credit, but
not exemption by SAT), and two col lege semesters of the same foreign I anguage at the elementary level, or at I east one semester
above that I evel . T he I anguage requi rement may al so be sati sf i ed by compl eti on of four years of the same I anguage other than

E ngl ish at the hi gh-school level or above, or the equi val ent. Students with such a foreign I anguage background who wi sh to be

considered for admission to Phi Beta Kappa should notify the Phi Beta Kappa office (2110 Marie Mount Hal I) inwritingand
provi de the appropri ate documentati on ( an of f i ci al hi gh school transcri pt) pri or to the month of consi derati on. J uni ors provi di ng I ate
documentati on ( after M arch 1) wi 1 1 be consi dered onl y as seni ors.

5. Distribution: The credit hours presented for Phi Beta Kappa must contain at I east nine liberal arts credit hours in each of the
three foil owing areas: (a) arts and humanities, (b) behavioral and social sciences, (c) natural sciences and mathematics (including a
laboratory science course). The laboratory science course cannot be fulfil led by AP credit All the courses in at least two of the
three required areas must be completed at the University of Maryland, College Park, and in the remaining area no more than one
AP course can be used to fulfil I the requirement. Ingeneral, Phi BetaKappawill accept theCORE classification of courses. In
satisfying the distribution requirement however, a maximum of one course that satisfies multipleCORE categories, allotted to the
category that hel ps the student the most can be used. A P H i story courses wi 1 1 be consi dered as sati sf yi ng onl y the arts and
humanities requi rement

Students wi th more chal I engi ng courses and moderatel y hi gh grade poi nt averages are preferred by the comrri ttee to those wi th
hi gher grade poi nt averages but a narrow range of courses. M i ni mal qual if i cati ons i n more than one area may precl ude el ecfj on to
Phi Beta Kappa.

Recommended Criteria I nclude:

1 Regular grades (rather than pass/fail) in mathematics, foreign language courses, and distribution areas.
2 - Some traditional social sciences and humanities courses that requi re written essays and papers. (Note that internships may be
counted as professional courses and not as I i beral courses).

Meeting the above requirements does not guarantee election to Phi Beta Kappa. The judgment of the resident faculty members of
Phi Beta Kappa on the quality, depth, and breadth of the students record is the deciding factor in every case Any questions about
criteria for election to Phi Beta Kappa (including equivalency examinations in foreign languages) should be directed to the Phi Beta
Kappa Office, Dr. Denis Sullivan, and 301-405-8986.

In our world of rapid econorric, social, and technological change, students need
a strong and broadly based education. General education helps students achieve
the intellectual integration and awareness they need to meet challenges in their
personal, social, political, and professional lives. General education courses
introduce the great ideas and controversies in human thought and experience A
solid general education provides a strong foundation for the life-long learning
that makes career-change goals attainable The breadth, perspective, and rigor
provided by the CORE curriculum helps Maryland graduates become "educated
people."

Accrecftations

N A A B - 1 n the U ni ted States, most state regi strati on boards requi re a degree from an accredi ted prof essi onal degree
program as a prerequisite for licensure The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole
agency authori zed to accredit U .S. prof essi onal degree programs i n architecture, recogni zes three types of degrees: the
Bachelor of Architecture, the M aster of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a
6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, dependi ng on the extent of its conformance with established educational
standards.

Doctor of Architecture and M aster of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre- professional undergraduate
degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional
education. However, the pre- prof essi onal degree is not by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

The University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning& Preservation offers thefollowingNAAB-accredited
degree programs:

• M .Arch (pre- professional degree +60 graduate credits)

• M. A rch(non- pre- prof essi onal degree + 109 credits)

Next accreditation visit for both programs: 2011

Thelndividual Studies Program (I VSP) is a degree-granting academic program under the direction of the Office of
U ndergraduate Studi es. The program al I ows students to create new i nterdi sci pi i nary curri cul a I eadi ng to the B achel or of

Students must seek the gui dance and approval of a Faculty M entor pri or to havi ng thei r prospectus revi ewed by the

the basi s for the students maj or requi rements. These I i sted requi rements from numerous acaderri c departments, al ong
with the CORE general education requi rements, are analogous i n most ways to the academic requi rements given to
students who sel ect from the U ni versi ty's tradi ti onal maj ors. H owever, each student i s requi red to desi gn a uni que

I ndi vi dual Studi es students must compl ete a seni or capstone proj ect and are encouraged to engage i n i nternshi ps,

Director: Francis DuVi nage, Ph.D.

The National Scholarships Office at the University of Maryland, College Park aims to provide undergraduates
with the best possible information, guidance and support as they learn about and apply for national
scholarships.

National scholarships are competitive, prestigious awards that provide opportunities and support for a wide
range of enriching experiences, including study abroad, graduate study (and sometimes undergraduate
study also), federal employment, teaching, research, and public service. National scholarships are looking
for students (with or without financial need) who are developing strong interests and goals - academic and
extracurricular - and who want to take advantage of every constructive opportunity that will help them reach
their objectives. J ustas each national scholarship offers a different kind of opportunity, each is also looking
for a different range of strengths and interests in its applicants. If you develop a strong academic record, are
thoughtful about your choices and devote yourself to activities you care about, you may well find one or
more scholarship opportunities of interest to you.

The National Scholarships Office strives to make learning about and applying for national scholarships an
enlightening experience. In addition to providing information about national scholarships through our
website, through group presentations and through individual advising, we also provide individualized
guidance and support at every stage ofthe application process. We invite you to visit our website and to
make an appointment with us to learn more about national scholarships that may help you attain your goals.

A erospace engi neeri ng i s concerned wi th the processes, both anal yti cal and creati ve, that are i nvol ved i n the desi gn, manufacture and operati on of aerospace
vehi cl es wi thi n and beyond pi anetary atmospheres. T hese vehi cl es range from he! i copters and other verti cal takeoff ai rcraft at the I ow- speed end of the fl i ght
spectrum, to spacecraft traveling at thousands of miles per hour during launch, orbit trans- pi anetary flight or re-entry, at the high-speed end. In between there are
general avi ati on and commerci al transport ai rcraft f I y i ng at speeds wel I pel ow and cl ose to the speed of sound, and supersoni c transports, f i ghters, and mi ssi I es
whi ch crui se supersoni cal I y. A I though each speed regi me and each vehi cl e poses i ts sped al probl ems, al I aerospace vehi cl es can be addressed by a cormnon set of
techni cal sped al ti es or di sci pi i nes.

The sub-disciplines of Aerospace Engineering are: aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, structures, and "design". Aerodynamics addresses the flow of air and
the associ ated forces, moments, pressures, and temperature changes. F I i ght-dynami cs addresses the moti on of the vehi cl es i ncl udi ng the traj ectori es, the rotati oral
dynami cs, the sensors, and the control I aws requi reel for successful accompl i shment of the mi ssi ons. Propul si on addresses the engi nes whi ch have been devi sed to
convert chemical (and occasionally other forms) energy into useful work, to produce the thrust needed to propel aerospace vehicles. Structures addresses material
properti es, stresses, strai ns, def I ecti on, and vi brati on al ong wi th manuf acturi ng processes as requi red to produce the very I i ght wei ght and rugged el ements needed i n
aerospace vehicles. Aerospace "design" addresses the process of synthesizing vehicles and systems to meet defined missions and more general needs. This is a
process that draws on information from the other sub-disciplines while embodying its own uni que el ements. The Aerospace Engi neeri ng program is designed to
provi de a f i rm f oundati on i n the vari ous sub-di sci pi i nes.

The Maj or

The faculty and students of the Department of Art History and Archaeology form a dynamic nucleus within a major research university. The program, leadi ng to the
B.A. degree in Art History, provides a diverse selection of courses in the art and archaeology of Africa, Asia, Europe, and theAmericas. The goal of the department
is to develop the students critical understanding of visual culture in both art historical and archaeological contexts.

Thedepartment has strong coverage in Western art from the classical period up to the present Inaddition, by taking advantage of the unusual diversity of faculty
i nterests, students can study i n areas not tradi ti onal I y offered i n departments of art hi story and archaeol ogy , such as the art of Af ri ca, art of the A f ri can di aspora, art of
L ati n A meri ca, and C hi nese and J apanese art Studi es i n archaeol ogy may be pursued i n cooperati on wi th other U ni versi ty departments.

Courses offered by thi s department may be found under the f ol I owi ng acronym A RTH .

The Major

TheCERES program fosters in-depth knowledge of the region stretching from Prague in the West to Vladivostok in the East This includes three main areas: Central
and Eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia (the newly independent states of the former Soviet Union). Our majors prepare for careers and graduate programs in which
an in-depth knowledge of Russia, Central Europe, and Eurasia can be applied with great benefit, such as journal ism, government service; diplomacy, business, a
variety of professional schools, and MA. and Ph.D. programs in the humanities and social sciences. Our majors take courses in a rangeof different departments,
gaining a firm grounding in the languages, literatures, history, politics, and economics of their area of study. They havetheflexibility to do coursework in other
fields related to the area as well . Students learn to examine our area of study with the tools of many scholarly fields.Coursesthat count toward this major may be
found under the foil owing acronyms: ARTH, ECON, GEOG, GERM, GVPT, HIST, PHIL, RUSS, SOCY, THET.

Prog-am Learning Outcomes

Having completed the multi-disciplinary degree program, students are expected to attain the foil owing I earning outcomes: 1. Students will demonstrate the ability to
communicate effectively in writing in either Russian, German, or a Central/East European language (including Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Serbian and Croatian,
Bulgarian, and Romanian); or in a Eurasian language (i.e, a language from a country formerly part of the Soviet Union). 2. Students will demonstrate the ability to
conduct research usi ng pri mary and secondary sources i ncl udi ng archival , pri nt and non-pri nt, and web- based texts. 3. Students wi 1 1 denmnstrate understand ng of

Director Betsy Mendelsohn, bmendel@urrd.edu

Program website is http://www.sts.umd.edu

The undergraduate University Certificate program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) enables students to lean about the dynamic, interactive and creative
rel ati onshi ps among sci ence, technol ogy, and soci ety . In addi ti on to coursework, the STS program requi res students to attend STS- rel ated monthl y events on
campus; STS events are I i steel on the program websi te. I n addi ti on, students are i nvi ted to parti ci pate i n f i el d tri ps to research I abs and i n servi ce acrj vi ti es rel ated to
STS; these activities bui Id community among students, staff and faculty. Each student works cl osely with a faculty mentor when writi ng the capstone term paper i n
the senior ENES 440 course. The STS University Certificate is especially helpful to students who wish to impose a unifying theme on their elective courses.

Courses rel evant to the STS program are drawn from many clepartments; thi s demonstrates the currency of sci ence and technol ogy studi es across di sci pi i nes i n the
sciences, engineering, the humanities, and social sciences. STS is an interdisciplinary field that has been taught for more than 30 years at universities in the United
States and E urope, notabl y i n those wi th strong engi neeri ng and publ i c pol i cy programs. I n recent years, STS U ni versi ty Certi fi cate students have chosen to wri te
thei r capstone term papers about ti mel y topi cs, i ncl udi ng the i nteracrj ons among sci ence, technol ogy and soci ety rel ated to ranotechnol ogy, fuel eel I s, physi cs
research fundi ng, and environmental policy.

Courses:

The STS program requi res 9 credits of CORE and 12 credits of U pper Level courses. Students must obtai n pri or approval of the di rector before counti ng courses
toward their individual STS course of study. For guidance, see the websitefor a list of approved courses, and note that students may ask the director to approve a
course not I i sted on the websi te.

CORE Courses (9 creel te):

•An overview history of sci ence or history of technology course (such as HIST175 or HIST204)

•The STS sophomore capstone course, CPSP227

• A third CORE course that relates sci ence to society or technology to society

Upper Levd (300- and400-l&*i) Corses (12 credis):

T hese courses have an i nterdi sci pi i nary ori entati on that demonstrates i nter- rel ati onshi ps between sci ence and soci ety or between technol ogy and soci ety. Students
choose three courses and the fourth course is EN ES440, the STS University Certificate capstone.

J oi ring the Program and Program Requirements:

Students i nterested i n STS shoul d contact the di rector to obtai n advi ce and approval pri or to enrol I i ng i n courses that f ul f i 1 1 the program Students record thei r

Courses offered by this department may befound under the foil owing acronym(s): CLAS, LATN, GREK.

Classics isthe study of ancientGreek and Roman culturein all its aspects. Greek and Roman culture are the foundations of western culture- its literature, ideas, art,
politics, and concepti ons of the i ndi vi dual . G reek myth i s sti 1 1 a shared fund of i mages and narrati ves that expresses human expert ence. L ati n i s the maj or source of

CI assies is an intellectually rich and versatile liberal arts maj or which teaches "core ski I Is", including effective communication, critical thinking, and an appreciation
of diversity. Because it is so interdisciplinary and holistic, a student of classics gets a three-dimensional view of cultural history and the literary works that are sti 1 1
